Extraordinary Voyage Chapter 590: The Great Library of Turin and the Witch
There is no wind, no sound, only the white brilliance of the sky.
Ivan stands alone on the boundary between the human collective unconscious sea and the spiritual world, just like standing in space beyond a huge planet.
Because of the thirty-six times the flow rate of time, the surface of the "planet" is undergoing drastic changes every moment.
At this time, the [Divination Ritual·All Seeing Eye] has been activated.
If, like the previous divination in Milan, it is useless to get some obscure images that are difficult to interpret, Ivan needs more accurate prompts. Whether it is coordinates, time of appearance, possible holders, etc., are important clues.
The medium that ensures that the ceremony can take effect is the members of the school, creations, mysterious sources, and other things deeply related to it, as a magnetic pole that attracts the secret scroll of the school's inheritance in the vast world.
The stronger the school, the stronger the "magnetism"!
In other words.
Not only for divination, but also for the daily development of the school. The wizarding school is originally a product of "collecting the crowd". The stronger the attraction to the same kind, the faster it will naturally develop until it enters a positive virtuous circle.
Although according to the extraordinary gathering effect, as a high-level wizard, Ivan himself is the largest pole in the material world.
But to be on the safe side, he still gathered all the apprentices under his command who had already started the "Tree of Life" in the ritual that looked like a huge eye hosted by Milan, including Jacob, who was a latecomer. Boo and Kyle.
And brought the complete first three volumes of "Sacrifice of Flesh", the toy box of "Steelman" (who once held the fourth volume) and his research materials on [Activated Dead], as well as all schools Related creations must maximize the effectiveness of the medium.
And the spiritual world is connected to the collective unconsciousness of all human beings, and detached from it, it can be said that all the secrets in the world are reflected here.
Under the influence of the ritual, if the strength of the mysterious connection between the two parties is strong enough, Ivan will be sent to the corresponding spiritual world area. As for whether he can get clues in the spiritual world, he needs to rely on his own Skilled.
This is also the limit that Milan can do as a "prophet".
"If this method still doesn't work, my "Legendary Warship" may only stay in the rough stage, and the "Ship Spirit" after completing the extraordinary transformation will be indefinitely."
If I can get the fourth volume before Ilya goes to war, even if it only takes a few months, he will have the confidence to build a semi-finished ship that is enough to join the battlefield, and it is a semi-finished product built strictly in accordance with the [Living Ship Spirit Art].
It will take at least 3-6 years for ordinary craftsmen of various countries to build a battleship from start to finish.
The key to success is to use wood that has been stored for several years and the moisture content has fallen below 20% and fully dried. The ideal situation is to slowly build ships with this wood so that the frame and hull of the ship can fit perfectly.
The craftsman will process all kinds of wood into corresponding components according to different parts of the hull, such as keel, ship ribs, strakes, masts, etc., hemp rope, tar, asphalt are also indispensable, this is a systematic Engineering.
Generally speaking, oak is used to make keels, pine or fir is used to make masts, teak is used to make decks, oak or other hardwoods are used to make ship hulls, and so on.
Although it can be built in 6 months in a wartime emergency, only wood that is not dry enough or of lower quality can be used. In such a dark, warm, and humid environment, the strength of the wood joints will decrease rapidly, and the frame and wood of the ship will loosen, and finally sink into water.
If built in strict accordance with the craftsmanship requirements, a battleship can be used for 50 years as long as it is not destroyed, but it may become rotten after only five years of construction by emergency means.
However, a great wizard launched the 【Extra-Limit Ceremony·Activation of Skillful Hand】, which is enough to use the extraordinary boat material that Hilius has accumulated over dozens of hundreds of years-the "treasure tree", in a very short time Build the hull in one go.
Like the former "Venus".
And the "Legendary Battleship" design drawing has been carefully prepared by Aiwen for more than a year, and he knows every component well. Especially after gaining the third-order ability and vision, he made adjustments in many details.
Whether it is the combat system that determines combat effectiveness: weapon system, fire control system, mobile wizard tower system, self-defense system, or navigation system that determines mobility: propulsion system, navigation system, communication system, maritime detection system.
And the support system to ensure the continuity of the battleship: ammunition supply system, energy supply system, internal ecosystem system, medical system, life service system, fresh water and food production system.
There are plans for many details, and even many technologies have been slowly accumulated a few years ago. It is only a matter of obtaining the [Activating Ship Spirit Art] to combine them into a whole to complete the extraordinary transformation and awaken the ship spirit!
However.
As time slowly passed, Ivan still didn't feel the slightest connection with things of the same origin in his heart, as if the secret scroll of inheritance was covered by an airtight cover.
And not only the fourth volume but also the fifth volume, as if they had been artificially sealed.
I can't help but become anxious, because this is not only about the shipbuilding plan, but also about the future of the wizarding road.
But just when Ivan was about to give up and return to the material world, without any warning, his body was wrapped in an eye-like light and shadow and suddenly sank downward into the spiritual world.
In a state of half-dream and half-awake, Ivan saw ancient battlefields, dead deserts, huge dark and humid mushroom forests, vibrant forests, and twisted ancient **** cities in Aiwen's eyes.
Ring Ling Ling...
I don't know how long it took, and Ivan suddenly woke up completely and looked up where he was.
The eyes are full of trees that are very familiar in the high latitudes of the Old World. At the end of the line of sight is a huge black building. Then the weather in the dark sky is clear, but only occasionally a few...pumpkins drift by? !
And it's the kind of pumpkin lantern that has been carved with orange lights coming out of the holes.
Confirm that there is no problem with the connection between himself and the beacon anchorage. After returning at any time, Ivan can relax and mutter to himself: "Didn't you find the two secret scrolls of inheritance? What is this place?"
In any case, this is also a reminder of the [All-Seeing Eye] ritual, and Ivan decided to check it out first.
Sa——
Between the steps, I have come to that very conspicuous huge building.
This is a building in the style of the "Dark Millennium" era. It has a typical centralized layout, with a hall as the center, two vertical and horizontal axis layouts, and four tall spire towers.
Listen to Sir Kataloff in the cursed oil painting introducing that period of history that has been covered up.
In the dark history from 1500 years ago to the end of the Renaissance 500 years ago, the Church of the Seven Gods is notoriously conservative, stubborn, and impersonal, and firmly imprisoned the people with various dogmas and rules. thought of.
At that time, let alone ordinary civilians, even the vast majority of nobles were illiterate, including the official habit of recording history, and nothing in art, architecture, sculpture... etc.
There is also the large-scale epidemic that almost destroyed half of the world. This is the deepest memory left by the "Dark Millennium".
It wasn't until five hundred years ago that there was a riot... ahem, the rise of the "Renaissance" and the "Dark Millennium" came to an end.
However, in order to avoid wizards with top-level knowledge, the Church of the Seven Gods became the biggest beneficiary in the tide of the world’s backlash. Most wizards are expelled, killed, and imprisoned.
Standing in front of the arched gate, Ivan lightly read the inscription on the brass doorplate: "The Great Library of Turin!"
Speaking of the mysterious side of the old world and the new world represented by wizards, Ivan believes that he still has some understanding, but this building shining with the aura of powerful witchcraft gave him a sincere sense of strangeness. .
In addition.
Because the spiritual world is a higher dimension than the material world, human beings enter it in the state of a spiritual body, but they have not obtained the ability to observe and process higher dimensions.
So everything that exists here is full of compression, displacement, and symbolism in the eyes of humans. What you see and feel may not be the real thing, it may be just a trivial corner of a huge iceberg floating on the water.
It can be said that everything except the "spiritual sun" and the "spiritual ocean", the external image shown has been processed by the rules of the world and deposited in the collective unconsciousness of the energy and material world of the spiritual world After the residue of the synaesthesia is molded together.
The roots of all kinds of things may come from real history, or it may just be the fantasy of some people, or even a thought of some powerful existence. Of course, it may also be the aboriginal people of the spiritual world and the material world. It doesn't matter.
But this building is different. It feels like the kind of qualitative change after the upper wizard returned to the original and restored it. If you take it into reality, it must be the same as it is now, without the slightest change.
At the same time.
In the lobby of the main building, sitting behind a desk full of various books~IndoMTL.com~A gorgeous lady with curly hair and retro dress, who is holding a small mirror and making her make-up, suddenly seems to feel something.
She didn't move her head, but the face in the mirror suddenly turned her head and looked towards the door.
Da...Da...Da...
Along with the crisp sound of footsteps, dozens of mirrors hung on the walls around the hall each reflected a figure belonging to the lady, but none of them acted the same.
Next moment.
Boom——
In front of Aiwen who hesitated slightly, the arched door of the "Great Library of Turin" was suddenly opened from the inside.
A beautiful lady quietly appeared behind the door, with delicate features like a carefully crafted doll, holding an ivory folding fan and nodding her head slightly:
"Unfamiliar wizards, welcome to the large library managed by the Turin Witches' Association."
Ivan's heart moved.
"Witch?"
